Zyxel VMG-1312 VDSL router

This is just a brief introduction to configuring the Zyxel VMG-1313 VDSL router for use on UK (BT) FTTC (Infinity) connections.

Log in to the router as any other – default IP address is 192.168.1.1, username “admin” password “1234”. Wait for it to finish building it’s “network diagram” status page, then click on the “Network” icon at the bottom and select “Broadband”. You should see the following screen.

Click on the icon indicated with the red arrow to Edit the VDSL wan connection.

Nearly all the settings on the WAN config page are correct, you need to put in your DSL username and password, which we should have given you by the time you get the router, so if you don’t know them please call 01494 837515, and select the VLAN.

Configuring the VMG-1312 for www.wizards.co.uk – the DSL username.

In the top part of the page, confirm that the i/f is “Active” (Tick box at the top) and put your DSL credentials in under “PPP Information”. In the next section it should already be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically”. We always give you a fixed IP address but the router will obtain this when it logs in. If you manually input the IP address here there can be connection problems.

In the second section, all the defaults should be correct and ready go to. Note the DNS servers will be picked up automatically when you log in.

Finally at the bottom of the page you will find a section entitled VLAN. You need to turn on the tick box “Active”, and put the digits “101” in the box for “802.1q”.

Once you have filled in the DSL username and the VLAN information, click “Apply”. The router is now ready to connect as soon as the VLDS/FTTC circuit is live.

Configuration of other features on this router are the same as other Zyxel routers. The factory default WiFi settings are printed on a label under the router, which you can use to configure your WiFi clients without making any changes to the router, or you can change the SSDI and Passphrase to something you prefer.
